We’re calling it. It’s officially coat weather. A light jacket or just a jumper will no longer do for the commute or your weekend plans, with the temperatures dropping and as we head towards the coldest winter ever.
Which means only one thing: it’s time for the big winter coat shop. An investment piece will last you through the chilly months and years to come, if looked after properly, and that’s worth splurging an extra bit of cash on.
May we politely suggest you refresh your wardrobe with one of Boden’s eight fabulous new coats in its AW19 collection. They’re all inspired by and named after great women of
British culture, including Emily Brontë, Jane Austen, Ava Lovelace, Frances Burney and Nancy Mitford.Related... We Tested The Best Black Tights From The High Street – Which Won?
